STAFF REPORT

The cloudy forecasts of recent days give way to partly sunny skies on Tuesday in Volusia and Flagler counties.

Temperatures will reach into the mid-70s with a 20 percent chance of rain, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service.

Winds will be 10 to 15 mph from the north-northeast, and the overnight low will fall to about 60 degrees.

Expect more of the same through the week, with temperatures warming into the 80s.

At the beaches, steady northeast winds combined with local wind waves could create some rough surf and minor beach erosion, especially around high tide. The conditions could also create a high rip current threat on Tuesday, especially between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. because of tidal effects. Check with a lifeguard before entering the water.

For boaters, winds will be decreasing through sunset Tuesday, yet seas of 6 to 8 feet are expected through early afternoon. A small craft advisory is in effect north of Sebastian Inlet through 10 p.m.

No accidents affecting traffic in Volusia and Flagler counties were reported by the Florida Highway Patrol by 6:30 a.m.
